MP3: Kornstad - Sweden
The debut solo album "Single engine" from Norwegian saxophonist Håkon Kornstad is exactly thAt - a solo album. There's a few tracks thAt feAture minimal accompaniment, but for the most part, it's all Kornstad and nothing else. There's also a few pieces where he employs a sampler to accompany himself, but even thAt is used sparingly. I'm often skeptical of records like this since I'm concerned with whether or not they'll hold my Attention with a single instrument. In this case however, Kornstad is such a masterful player thAt my fears are instantly allayed. It was simply listening to the streaming player on his website thAt first grabbed my Attention and I was sold. The track I've decided to share today is "Sweden", one of the more playful and straightforward compositions from the record (note: the musician credits on site are wrong. The Hammond and double bass are actually on "B", track #4). I just love the way he nonchalantly tosses in licks while playing the main riff, totally changing his tone for each. Not just a beautiful piece of music, but fun too.

MP3: Mixtapes & Cellmates - The better half of cynical boys
July's Atrap.com/store/product.php?productid=383">Record Club selection is the self-titled debut from Mixtapes & CellmAtes. On backup: the new EP collection Atrap.com/store/product.php?productid=493">"A retrospective". Young, smart and oblivious to lame trends, Mixtapes are easily one of my favorite indiepop bands right now. ThAt is, if you could label their music as merely thAt - there's so much else going on, from glitchy electronic beAts to fuzzy shoegazer textures and more. For a debut album, this is incredibly well-composed and self-assured and probably just the very start of whAt I imagine will be a long and fruitful career. "The better half of cynical boys" builds off a clever acoustic guitar figure thAt frames a simple, frail vocal. The chorus introduces string textures and the guitar gets busier, but they never overwhelm the main vocal melody. It's a delicAte balancing act as there's quite a bit going on, but they pull it off without a problem, without ever getting too self-indulgent.
